Became a Myth Class Professor at the Academy

179. End of the year (7)

The new version of Pedeus collapsed.

In the meantime, the vital point was avoided, so life was not affected.

However, there is only very little blood flowing.

It was a big deal for the wizards who were not accustomed to direct combat.

Unsurprisingly, Pedeus’ complexion was pale.

Luina shouted at the crouched Pedeus.

“Why, why did you get the sword instead of me!”

“I want to ask. Why didn’t you avoid it?”

“Because the professor can’t kill his student!”

“It’s a great belief. For your safety, I sent this to Grasco and to that Lucas side, but it seems that my judgment was foolish. How dare you belittle your life.”

It seems that it was also Pedeus’ intention to send it to me.

Ruina was in the hands of Pedeus from the beginning.

To me, who knew everything, his clumsy fatherhood seemed faint, but to Ruina, it wasn’t.

To her, Pedeus was an object of hatred.

It must be full of incomprehensible things, from the fact that he was stabbed in his stead, to the fact that he was sent to Grasco for safety.

She was wandering between hatred and confusion.

For such Ruina, now is the time to reveal the truth.

All I have to do is push my back.

“I think there are things we need to solve for each other.”

“… … Right. Was it all your scheme?”

“Don’t call it debt. Is it difficult for me to hear? I can give you a seat.”

Pedeus looked at Ruina quietly.

“No, it’s done. Ruina trusts you more than me. Just being in this space will help Ruina’s stability.”

Pedeus sighed and slowly opened his mouth.

“Luina, Louisa.”

He could hardly continue to speak, and only uttered Ruina’s name.

Then, soon after, I made up my mind and continued the story slowly.

“What you saw that day… … .”

“Ugh… … .”

This time it was Luina.

For her, just thinking about it is a terrible memory.

However-

“Listen, Luina. You must listen.”

“… … .”

have to listen

At my words, Ruina looked at me and Pedeus alternately.

Then, as if he had decided something, he slowly closed his eyes and exhaled a few deep breaths.

“I will listen, Professor. ok, give me an excuse Ready.”

“… … What you saw that day- is an illusion.”

“… … What?”

Louisa frowned as if it was ridiculous.

Pedeus continued calmly as if he had expected such a reaction.

“What you saw is an illusion, the truth, and my fault.”

“What are you going to do with me now? make excuses It doesn’t sound like anything… … .”

“You don’t have to believe it. Just listen.”

“… … .”

The cruel truth awaits her from now on.

“I grew up as an emotionless doll. The joys, the sorrows, the joys that humans feel—especially love, have never been felt before.”

I remembered the setting for the Squadron Matapju.

Clearly, he was a person who did everything he could to achieve an end.

Pedeus, who was born as his son, was thoroughly ‘bred’ for the purpose of revival of the tower, and it was not considered human child rearing – no, it was not an act that could be done to living things, it was close to abuse.

But those things didn’t work for Ruina.

Rather, it only instills resentment in her.

“Are you going to get sympathy? Do you think that explains what you did to me and mom?”

“Listen to the end.”

“It… … !”

Chimi couldn’t contain her anger, so she trembled slightly.

“Listen to the end, Luina. If you listen to Pedeus to the end and your feelings do not change, then I will draw the sword.”

At my words, Luina let out a deep sigh and controlled her anger.

“Go on.”

“In that case, your mother, Selian, has come to visit me. He was the one who made me realize that I am a human being as well. I swear, you’re one of the only two people I’ve ever felt in love in my entire life. One is Selian, and the other is Selian’s daughter, you, Ruina.”

Now it’s time for the cruel truth to be revealed.

“… … Did you kill such a person? So cruel?”

“It didn’t kill. What I killed- is an illusion.”

“What kind of bullshit is that!”

He touched Luina’s shoulder as she was about to get up.

“What he said is true, Luina.”

“… … yes?”

I am the only one who can tell the truth to her, who will be confused.

Opened her mouth to the first truth.

“Selien Ellaim, she-.”

“I died after giving birth to you.”

Pedeus took my words and continued.

It seems that he doesn’t want to hear the painful wounds through the mouth of others.

The first truth that was cruel to both Pedeus and Ruina.

Selien died a long time ago.

“Dead… … say? It also gives birth to me… … go?”

“okay.”

“Nonsense… … At my coming-of-age ceremony, my mom… … Mom… … .”

“So it is an illusion. ‘That’ Selian is a chimera I made.”

second truth.

Until now, what she had firmly believed that Selian was her mother was the fact that she was a chimera, an artificial creature created by Pedeus.

“When I first received you, I was taken aback. A wave of emotions that I had never felt before came crashing down on me. I didn’t know what to do between the anger at the loss of Selian and the affection I still felt from you. I wasn’t mature enough to give you love and raise you. You and I needed Selian.”

So, he touched the forbidden magic.

In the forbidden realm permitted only by God, the creation of life.

However, even though he was called Pedeus, the most powerful wizard in the history of the tower, he could not reach the realm of God.

As a result, his creation of life failed.

“Because of my faint power, it collapsed. Once a year, once a year, once a month. Then, in the end, it started to fall apart. That’s why I had no choice but to leave Selien lying there in your memory. Every time the collapse went on like that, it begged me to kill it.”

“Nonsense… … .”

“But you still had to grow up, and you didn’t need clumsy parents, but parents who could embrace you with true love. When you become a girl, when you become a lady, when you become an adult – you hold on to it so forcefully. I’m not sorry for that For me, it was just something completely different, resembling Selian’s face. The real thing that made me feel happy, sad, sick, and affectionate was you, who became more and more like Selian while growing up. Then one day, it threatened with Selian’s face. The subject of threats was- you, Ruina.”

“What?”

“You liked it. I loved her and followed her as a mother. It said it would use him to harm you. Of course it would have been impossible. However, I had to make a choice after seeing them clamoring to kill you with Selian’s face, otherwise I would kill you.”

Louisa’s head dropped.

“I couldn’t lose you, Luina.”

“Nonsense. lie… … .”

An unbelievable reality hit her.

“And at that moment, I had to admit. The weakness of this Pedeus is that he moved from Selyen to you. You are my one and only daughter that Selian left me. Now, I couldn’t make you grow up like me in a tower without even an illusion. So I had to send you to the safest place in the world. So, I used your emotions.”

Using the feelings of revenge that Ruina harbored, she induced her to leave the tower.

The expression on Pedeus’s expression when he uttered those words was truly horrifying.

“Even if you hate me… … Does not matter. The most important thing to me is your safety, that’s all.”

“… … can not.”

Louisa barely spoke.

“I can’t admit it. Do you want me to believe in such a novel? Nonsense. Nonsense!”

she was pissed off

It’s only natural that the things that had held her up until now were being cut off.

Luina’s eyes fluttered unsteadily.

Magic energy began to flow from his body.

Magic as a wizard and Auror as a swordsman.

The two opposing auras conflicted, and they were trying to create more than just a magical runaway.

“Great!”

Pedeus noticed and tried to use his hand, but it was too late.

The speed of the runaway was too fast for the wounded man to react.

However-

Oops-!

“Lucas, you bastard-!”

“It stunned me for a while. It’s to save Ruina, so don’t make a fuss.”

“Really? really… … .”

Pedeus, who was interrogating, looked at Luina’s condition, and then sighed as if relieved.

“… … Thank you.”

It was a thank you with many meanings.

What prevented Ruina’s runaway, and-.

that allowed him to reveal his mistakes.

“It was for my disciple.”

It was possible to weave Pedeus with this and put the tower in my hand, but I didn’t want to do that as my disciple.

And it’s not like the mato tower can help me directly.

More than anything else, I have ‘warned’ him, which means that a set of goals have been achieved.

By opening Purgatory, danger will come to this continent.

And, of course, Ruina was also included among the dangerous beasts reaching out their hands.

As long as Ruina’s safety is at stake, I won’t let the horse tower go unnoticed.

“You may stay here until Luina wakes up.”

“… … Thank you for your consideration. But, would you like to see my face when Luina wakes up?”

“Well.”

I really don’t know.

Maybe this method changed Luina’s thoughts.

Wasn’t he just digging through the painful wounds?

However, one thing is certain, the thought of throwing one’s body for revenge would have disappeared.

The rest of the sediment is Ruina’s share.

“I will return to the tower.”

Pedeus slowly got up.

I took the gap in the space that had now become smaller and expanded it.

Then, the same gate I made using Durandal was made.

It is a magical ability that is close to divine.

To recreate a gate created by borrowing the power of a divine spirit with a piece of magical power left in the air.

It is the skill of a wizard who is revered as the most genius among all ＜Ah.

He walked towards the gate without showing any signs of exhaustion.

Then, suddenly, I stopped and looked back.

“Oh, but wait.”

His expression turned cold, I asked.

“How do you know Selian is dead? That’s a fact that even Milia doesn’t remember.”

I hadn’t thought of that.

At that time, Pedeus collapsed in the shock of losing Selian, and later erased the memories of everyone who knew it with an amnestic magic.

So even Milia ‘can’t remember’ the truth.

I didn’t have to answer his question.

Pedeus pondered for a moment, wondering if the arrangement was complete, and nodded his head in agreement.

“Right. Did you use runes?”

It was a complete misunderstanding, but I don’t need to go ahead and correct it.

“You will pass this time, but don’t go too far into the secrets of the tower.”

“for a moment.”

This time I stopped Pedeus.

I have something important to say to him.

“You must be right to regard Luina as a ‘real daughter’.”

“… … .”

He looked back silently.

Third truth here.

Ruina is not Pedeus’ real daughter.

His real father is-

“No matter what anyone says, Louisa is my daughter.”

“Right. That was it.”

done.

what does it matter now

If Pedeus’s sincerity was like that.

“I will destroy anything dangerous to my daughter. Be mindful.”

“Then we will see each other again soon.”

He had just, indirectly expressed his intention to participate in the war.
